RES and renewable energy company Artıbir Enerji have signed Turkey’s first international and independent long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) contract.
The agreement covers Artıbir Enerji’s 30MW Yeniköy and Yılmaz wind farms, located in Canakkale and Izmir.
The projects comprise eight Siemens Gamesa SG132 3.75MW turbines.
Under the O&M deal, RES will deliver maintenance, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and 24/7 remote control services.
It will also provide support for main components such as blades, gearboxes, and generators, as well as procurement support for spare parts when needed.
General manager of RES Turkey Geert Dooms (pictured left) said: “This agreement represents RES’s first services contract in Turkey and introduces a new independent model for long-term turbine maintenance.
“By bringing our global know-how into Turkey’s growing renewables market, we are creating a trusted blueprint for the sector and unlocking new value for investors.”
General manager of Artıbir Enerji Güray Erol (pictured right) said: “This agreement with RES not only secures the operation and maintenance of our wind farms but also opens a new chapter for Turkey’s renewable energy sector.
“By requesting the flow of internationally accumulated expertise and targeting to increase our availability rates, we aim to deliver more efficient and reliable clean energy for Turkey’s growing demand.
“Combining our local strength with RES’s global expertise, we are proud to enhance our contribution to Turkey’s clean energy transition.”
